Implementation of Anti-quantum Communication System Using Software-Defined Radio

In recent years, the rapid development of quantum computer has posed great challenges in the security of traditional wireless communication. This paper proposes a future-oriented high security anti-quantum wireless communication system, which can be applied to the mobile devices of Internet of things with constrained resources, and give them longer service life and flexibility on the basis of ensuring their security. Particularly, the Rainbow anti-quantum signature algorithm is implemented in Software-Defined Radio (Zedboard and AD9361 RF modules) platform and accelerated by Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware of Zedboard. The experimental results show that the time of signature generation and verification is shortened significantly under the limitation of the consumption of computing resources. What’s more, the proposed anti-quantum wireless communication system has better reconfigurability through flexible RF front-end configurations.
